the Catholics are concerned they ought
to reap material advantages from the help
they have afforded, and If the government,
is as grateful as it ought to be they will
do so. Bismarck's triumph means the
triumph of the Septenuate military meas
ure. The grants asked for by the gov
eminent for the military establishment
will be for period of seven instead OF
three years, and France has fair
warning that Germany is not only
prepared now but will remain in
a permanent state of preparation
for a renewal of the hostilities that
closed nearly sixteen years ago. Perhaps
such state of affairs, viewed from q
utilitarian standpoint, is not without its
advantages. Bismarck says it is the only
means of keeping the peace. He contends
that it is more desirable to maintain q

| ALBANY, TEN. Feb. p, 1887.
To the Editor of the Gazette
DEAR Strive watch with great interest
| your success. Oats and mlllet seem to be the
seeds in demand just now. our central aid
committee of Albany is still organized, as you
will see by the inClOsed card, and contributions
ought to be sent to it. Hon. J. K. Fleming
is chairman of 1t. Should you purchase the
! seeds and forward to our committee, the seeds
will be faithfully distributed in the twenty five
counties they represent Stephens, Eastland
| Young, Jack and Wise need perhaps Il ore than
| any other, and should you request 1t these
, counties will be supplied first. Very truly
yours, JOHN BROWN.
As will be seen by notice elsewhere,
THE GAZETTE has sent portion of the
donations entrusted to it to General
Lane, and has written him for instruc-
tons as to disposition of the remainder
| THE GAZETTE did not feel authorized to
assume the responsibility OF distribution,
and having communicated with General
Lane, we respectfully request all parties
interested to write him on the sub
ject of future disposition of any funds
that may be sent this paper. The
GAZETTE has no preference or wish In the
matter of distribution beyond that which
actuates all alike, viz, that the seed
shall be furnished those most in need and
distributed where the most good will be
accomplished.
THE GAZETTE will continue to receive
and acknowledge donations from all
who are able to aid in the good cause, and
again calls attention to the fact that oats
should be in the ground within the next
two weeks. As Mr.. Brown says, oats and
millet are the seeds in demand just now,
and THE GAZETTE pleads with all people
in the state who are able to help these
sufferers to provide against future want,
to do so promptly.

pay 81 an acre cannot now be sold st that
or any price. The construction of the
canal will enhance the value of the states
lands contiguous to the canal and put it
on the market. The men who sub
NIT this proposition wish to make
money out of it, but they offer PROPOSE
ton which will enable the state also to
make money out of it. The question for
the Legislature is, will it be good thing
for the state: II not, the measures should
De promptly voted down. If 1t will put
money in the State Treasury and if it will
convert an arid section into one of pro-
ductive value, the proposition should be
accepted. The only question for the Leg
iSlature to consider is the effect on the
state and it's interests, and THE GAZETTE
hopes to see this measure receive the con
sideration its Importance justifies. THE
GAZETTE wants to see the western part of
the state settled up, and if this measure
will tend to the consummation of that
desired end, it certainly merits the sane
ton of the peoples representatives.

one carload of oats has been bought
and shipped to General Lane at Cisco, as

money to buy seed for the destitute, and
is not for general distribution. This pa

complained of; the railroads in the state
have generously offered to transport all
donations free, and have done so.

an IMPORTANT MEASURE.

Elsewhere in THE GAZETTE to-day
will be found the full text of the bill to
sell certain public school lands to com
pany which proposes to provide the
means of irrigeting stretch of country
seventy-fve miles long in the region Of
the Pecos river. The proposition, briefly,
is to sell certain lands at 81 an acre to
the company on thirty years. time at 5
per cent. interest, the interest payable
annually, but allowing the company at
any time to pay the whole of
the purchase price and have final
title issued to the land paid for. The
land so sold is to be made up of half sec
tons, the remaining half section continu-
ing in possession Of the state until sold
to actual settlers. The company to whom
the half sections are sold is required to
construct an lrrigating canal in accord
ance with the laws of Texas within two
years from the passage of the act, and
lands will be patented to the company
only on certain specified conditions. The
Senate committee on internal improve
ments have reported favorsbly on the
bill, the one printed in to-day's. GAZETTE
being the substitute OF that committee.
The arguments against this measure are
those which a certain class of people offer
to every work of public improvement
and who are perfectly willing that indi-
vidusls shall labor st their own expense
for the public good. The arguments in
favor Of the measure are patent to every
one who recognizes the need of irrigation
n certain portions of West Texas. The

FROM ANY .SOURCE

THE GAZETTE will receive and &C
knowledge donations from any source for
the drouth sufferers. If funds are no
being raised in other towns where there
are parties who desire to help these pee
pie buy seed, THE GAZETTE will be
pleased to add such contributions. to its
list. THE GAZETTE is informed that oats
may be sown as late as March Is, and as
rapidly as funds accumulate from these
donations to buy seed the purchase will
be made. Without aid to procure seed
for planting these people will be as help
less in the future as they are now. 1t is
cause that appeals TO the generosity of
all who are able to assist, and THE GA
zETTK will take pleasure IN acknowledge

BISMARCKS TRIUMPH.

Returns from the elections held in
Germany this week indicate that the gov,
eminent party, which is led by the Prince
Chancellor Bismarck, will have a MAORI.
ty in the new Reichstag. The majority
will not be large, however, and seems to
have been secured under difficulties. In
Berlin and other large cities the Social
lists made heavy gains and it is from the
rural, Catholic districts that the govern
ment gets its majority. This fact shows
how powerful was the assistance given by
the Holy See of Rome, and how impossi-
Die it would have been for Prince Bis
marck to carry the day but for this as
slstance. With the Catholic vote cast
against the government, as has been the
case Tor several years past, coupled with
the rapid growth of the Liberal National
party, and there can be no doubt but that
the government must have been defeated.
1t would have had even less strength
in the new than in the previous Reichstag.
The alliance with Rome was formed in
the nick OF time, and has saved the gov
eminent from either humiliating accept
ance of the situation and all that such
situation would have involved, or resort
to measures not sanctioned by the consti-
tuition Of imperial Germany. So far as

The grand jury adjourned Saturday, find

must be admitted that in the pas. history

that is in somewhat unusual

about 1t? Is she to be the second in the
race to supply those needy western
brethren with seed? Come up with your
offerings and swell the fund. The News
has already sent authority to draw on the
fund contributed through its
columns, to Chairman Lane of
the State Relief Commission at Cisco,
who, in reply to request from
the News, is purchasing seed and dis
tributing it as fast as possible. He is
handling the funds appropriated by the

in want, and is also placing the money
collected by the News and GAZETTE
where it will do the most good in sup
plying seed oats, corn, millet and cotton.
Fort Worth and Dallas have business

so needy Just now, and it is eminently
appropriate that these cities should lead
the procession in raising 8 seed fund.
Should not Dallas lead all cities? At any
rate emulation could not be in a better
cause. 1t should be friendly emula-
ton. The main point is to get seed to
the west at once for spring planting.

1t may be urged that this trade is adapted
to women, but the argument will count
for little when it is remembered how great
prejudice exists against female labor
on mems garments. So great has this
been that while much or the work is done
by women, the secret is carefully guarded
by all merchant tailors. Women will
prove no formidable rivals in pursuits for
which they are not by nature adapted,

open all avenues of industry to so large a
